Bonneville Salt Flats--Labor Day Weekend

I spent the weekend out at the salt flats for the Bub Speed Trials. Here are a few of the pics I took.

Me and the RS before heading out onto the salt


A twin-engined Vincent streamliner


A very clean Indian, also a Royal Enfield in the background


Thrux351 heading out for his first run on the salt

The Broken Spoke bike in the foreground did 162 mph. The bike behind it sported a diesel engine from a BMW 320d (European model), and hand hammered aluminum body work


This streamliner had a 50cc 2-stroke engine. It was clocked at 138 mph


This old Trident came from British Columbia


This was the tow vehicle

Wonderful! I love the old streamliners, bikes and cars! When I was a kid I sneaked into and sat in the old unrestored Mormon Meteor III at the capital building. It sat out of the way and I think was mostly forgotten. I recall seeing it restored in St. George, Utah some years back when The Great American Race passed through the area. Here's a pic.
